What Is The Suggestion When MRI Reports From 2 Different Radiologists Gave 2 Impressions?

How do I know which radiologist is reading my MRI correctly? MRI last week on Cervical & Thoracic Spine done. Reports from two separate radiologist gave two different "Impressions" from the same films. Is it wrong to ask another radiologist to have a look at MRI'S ?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is not wrong to take another opinion but I will suggest you to talk to your neurologist and get a panel opinion on your films keeping in mind your symptoms. There may be times when different terms are used to describe the same condition.
